Academic staff retention is a major challenge affecting higher learning institutions globally. The performance and success of any education institution immensely depends on the qualified academic staff it’s able to retain. When good academic staff exit, they leave a void that is often costly to fill and challenging to manage, hence corrodes institutional efficiency and effectiveness in its operations. The purpose of this study therefore was to investigate the influence of leadership practices on academic staff retention in public Universities. The study employed ex post facto research design. Simple random sampling was used to select 376 academic staff from 10 public Universities for the study. Data was collected using a closed-ended questionnaire (Likert type scale 1-5). Data was analyzed using weighted averages and simple linear regression analysis. The study concluded that University leadership significantly affects academic staff retention.
